Posh, who is expecting a girl, and Becks are already considering schools for their three lads.

It is thought they will return to their £18million mansion in Hertfordshire after Victoria, 37, gives birth on July 4.

Close pal and telly star Louie Spence, 42, said: “David, Victoria and the boys are coming to live over here again.

“I’m working in the States over the summer but I’ll be in New York.

“If I’m in LA while I’m there we’ll definitely be spending time together.

“But, to be completely honest,they’re moving back to Britain soon, so I might have to wait until I’m back here until we can have a girly catch-up.”

Sources close to the couple, thought to be worth more than £100million, say they will keep their Los Angeles mansion as a second home.

Becks, 36, has already been back to Britain for Gary Neville’s testimonial and he took his mother Sandra for pie and mash at Tony’s Pie-N-Mash at home in Waltham Abbey, Essex.

Last night Tommy Lane, 27, son of shop owner Tony, said: “David is a lovely bloke and we consider him a regular customer.

“We treat him the same as everyone else and he would not have it any other way.”

A local source added: “Becks is in his element when he comes in for his pie and mash. No one bothers him.

“He was congratulated on his hairdo at the royal wedding but that was about it. He just ate his meal quietly with his mum.”

Fans of his US team the LA Galaxy also think he is off when his contract runs out this summer.

But hardcore supporters – known as the Riot Squad – are angry he missed the clash with Houston Dynamo last Wednesday so he could play in the Old Trafford match.

Riot Squad member David Garcia, 26, said: “He showed more loyalty to a pal in a meaningless match than he did to the team that’s paying him $6million (£3.6million) a year. That’s outrageous and I wouldn’t shed a tear if the Galaxy dumped his sorry ass.”

LA fan Fredy Argueta, 28, said: “We pay him too much for him not to take the team seriously.”
